khawarij are not our brothers and sisters.
Well I guess that was the first thing they got wrong then... I was interested in this mini-series as it was widely advertised and forms part of the public's perception...
A banker knows what a banknote looks and feels like. In the same way, when presented with a program like this, I would imagine a real Muslim would be able to distinguish the real thing from media presentations.
I find myself doing this fairly frequently these days when I see Christianity portrayed in the media. Once you have experienced the authentic, the fake stands out clearly.
I didn't want to derail your thread, but it might be helpful to be aware of this series both for the parts that are truly representing Islam, and the ways in which it might be misrepresenting things.
Anyway, God bless you

P.s. I looked up an unfamiliar term to me...
"The term al-Khariji was used as an exonym by their opponents from the fact that they left Ali's army. The name comes from the Arabic root خ ر ج, which has the primary
meaning "to leave" or "to get out", as in the basic word خرج "to go out", "to walk out", "to come out", etc."
If I take your meaning, these guys effectively 'walked out' of Islam when they left the true path? Am I understanding you correctly?
